Pros

Decent discount and mostly sane, loyal customers. There are some nice coworkers but theirs never seem to make it. That is all.

Cons

Cosmetic managers are biased, uninvolved and shirk any responsibility. Upper management seems to condone, partake and encourage this behavior. Pretty much a very "mean girl" mentality. One day they talk to you and love you, the next they won't even look you in the face. Communication is nonexistent, unless you call talking about vendors and other associates they manage count. Amy time I needed help, they were huddled in their office shopping online.

Pros

* If you have an amazing team and management the day goes by fast. * Commission. * Easy to rely on foot traffic to meet goals. * If you ask for growth, they set thing ups that align with what you want, you just need to ask.

Cons

* If its slow, its SLOW. * There can be drama, it just depends on the department you're in.

Pros

Employee discount and free samples

Cons

A toxic environment where sales are almost zero because vendors are pulling their product off the shelf because their bills aren’t getting paid. They’re in the middle of coming out of a bankruptcy , if a client does come in, we usually don’t have the product to sell them ,only lines who are partially thriving is fragrance ! The hours are terrible. You get off work at nine and you’re expected to be back at 9:30 AM.
